Donate to the BC Fires Appeal through your Credit Union

British Columbians are facing massive wildfires that have triggered evacuations in several communities across the province.

Fast moving flames have forced thousands of people from their homes. Urgent help is needed for individuals and families evacuated from their communities.

The Credit Unions of BC and Credit Unions of Ontario are deeply appreciative of the Canadian Red Cross and their efforts as they help the communities affected by the wildfires throughout BC in this very challenging time.

Donations will be used for immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long term recovery, resiliency and preparedness for future events in British Columbia and Yukon, including consequential events related to the fires.

On behalf of the Credit Unions of British Columbia and the Credit Unions of Ontario, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your donation during these difficult moments. Please identify your credit union affiliation below to share with us when donating. Thank you for your support.

From August 15 until October 12, 2018, the Province of British Columbia will match all donations made by individuals who are residents of B.C, up to $20 million.

"When man finally learns to control the elements... When the winds will be quiet and the earth cannot be torn apart...When there will be no loneliness... no destitution...
no war... When the last hungry man, woman or child is fed... Only then will there be no need for the Red Cross."

– Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize winner

The funds will be designated for the purpose for which they were given. In the unlikely event that we raise more money than can be reasonably and effectively spent, we will strive to use any residual funds for similar purposes and/or in a similar geography and to respond to other disasters and humanitarian needs throughout Canada.

The fundraising cost related to any emergency appeal will not exceed five percent. Remaining funds will be used for Red Cross operations to support vulnerable people, families and communities.
